Human Hyperlipaemia and Hypercholesterolaemia

Ocular manifestations in idiopathic hyperlipaemia and xanthomatosis.

THE accumulation of neutral fac in the blood to such an extent as to produce turbidity of the serum is termed hyperlipaemia. This may occur physiologically after a fatty meal, secondarily to diabetes mellitus, the nephrotic syndrome and glycogen storage disease, or idiopathically.

Hypercholesterolaemia and diabetes mellitus.

An association of essential hypercholesterolaemia and diabetes mellitus is postulated. Case records are included to illustrate hypercholesterolaemia secondary to acute diabetes mellitus, and essential hypercholesterolaemia, independent of, but accompanying diabetes mellitus. Whereas in the former the serum cholesterol returns to normal and its attendant clinical manifestations resolve when the ...

Fatal haemolytic uraemic syndrome and idiopathic hyperlipaemia in monozygotic twins.

In 1932 Burger and Grutz described a previously unrecognized disorder characterized by triglyceride hyperlipaemia with variable clinical features, including attacks of abdominal pain, xanthomatous skin lesions, and hepatosplenomegaly. This condition is now usually called 'idiopathic hyperlipaemia' (Hsia, 1959). More recently, Gasser, Gautier, Steck, Siebenmann, and Oechslin (1955) have defined ...
